Through initial diagnosis the treatment and rehabilitation is decided and because the body is a kinetic chain, by working on the muscles around the strain or injury full performance can be restored.
If an injury has not been fully rehabilitated it is far more likely to reoccur and because healing has taken place there is more chance that the affected area will not function as it once did. That is why I look at providing you with a programme of exercises in my one to one sessions to get you functioning in the fastest time possible.
As I look for imbalances as well as muscle weakness and not just at the injury all areas will be addressed.
A systematic therapeutic stroking and kneading of the body, by applying pressure to the skin, muscles or tissue it activates different sensory receptors and many cases resolves muscular-skeletal dysfunction.
Massage before and after a sporting event can both improve performance and aid recovery. Pre sports massage helps stimulate the blood flow and warm up the muscles, where post sports massage helps to soothe muscles aiding recovery.
Post sports massage does this through encouraging lymphatic drainage and the removal of lactic acid and other toxins which may have built up in the system.
